IP Indemnification. Vendor agrees to indemnify, defend, settle, or pay, at its own cost and
expense, including the payment of attorney's fees, any claim or action against the City for
infringement of any patent, copyright, trade mark, service mark, trade secret, or other intellectual
property right arising from City's use of the Deliverable(s), or any part thereof, in accordance
with the Agreement, it being understood that the agreement to indemnify, defend, settle or pay
shall not apply if City modifies or misuses the Deliverable(s). So long as Vendor bears the cost and
expense of payment for claims or actions against the City pursuant to this section 8, Vendor shall
have the right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, City shall have
the right to fully participate in any and all such settlement, negotiations, or lawsuit as necessary to
protect the City's interest, and City agrees to cooperate with Vendor in doing so. In the event City,
for whatever reason, assumes the responsibility for payment of costs and expenses for any claim
or action brought against the City for infringement arising under the Agreement, the City shall
have the sole right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its
settlement or compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim; however, Vendor shall fully
participate and cooperate with the City in defense of such claim or action. City agrees to give
Vendor timely written notice of any such claim or action, with copies of all papers City may receive
relating thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City's assumption of payment of costs or expenses shall not
eliminate Vendor's duty to indemnify the City under the Agreement. If the Deliverable(s), or any
part thereof, is held to infringe and the use thereof is enjoined or restrained or, if as a result of a
settlement or compromise, such use is materially adversely restricted, Vendor shall, at its own
expense and as City's sole remedy, either: (a) procure for City the right to continue to use the
Deliverable(s); or (b) modify the Deliverable(s) to make them/it non -infringing, provided that such
modification does not materially adversely affect City's authorized use of the Deliverable(s); or (c)
replace the Deliverable(s) with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally equivalent non -
infringing Deliverable(s) at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the foregoing alternatives
is reasonably available to Vendor, terminate the Agreement, and refund all amounts paid to
Vendor by the City, subsequent to which termination City may seek any and all remedies available
Cooperative Purchase Page 2 of 17
to City under law. VENDOR'S OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER SHALL BE SECURED BY THE
REQUISITE INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIRED BY CITY.
Data Breach. Vendor further agrees that it will monitor and test its data safeguards from
time to time, and further agrees to adjust its data safeguards from time to time in light of relevant
circumstances or the results of any relevant testing or monitoring. If Vendor suspects or becomes
aware of any unauthorized access to any financial or personal identifiable information ("Personal
Data") by any unauthorized person or third party, or becomes aware of any other security breach
relating to Personal Data held or stored by Vendor under the Agreement or in connection with the
performance of any services performed under the Agreement or any Statement(s) of Work ("Data
Breach"), Vendor shall immediately notify City in writing and shall fully cooperate with City at
Vendor's expense to prevent or stop such Data Breach. In the event of such Data Breach, Vendor
shall fully and immediately comply with applicable laws, and shall take the appropriate steps to
remedy such Data Breach. Vendor will defend, indemnify and hold City, its Affiliates, and their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents, harmless from and against any and all claims,
suits, causes of action, liability, loss, costs and damages, including reasonable attorney fees, arising
out of or relating to any third party claim arising from breach by Vendor of its obligations
contained in this Section, except to the extent resulting from the acts or omissions of City. All
Personal Data to which Vendor has access under the Agreement, as between Vendor and City, will
remain the property of City. City hereby consents to the use, processing and/or disclosure of
Personal Data only for the purposes described herein and to the extent such use or processing is
necessary for Vendor to carry out its duties and responsibilities under the Agreement, any
applicable Statement(s) of Work, or as required by law. Vendor will not transfer Personal Data to
third parties other than through its underlying network provider to perform its obligations under
the Agreement, unless authorized in writing by City. Vendor's obligation to defend, hold harmless
and indemnify City shall remain in full effect if the Data Breach is the result of the actions of a
third party. All Personal Data delivered to Vendor shall be stored in the United States or other
jurisdictions approved by City in writing and shall not be transferred to any other countries or
jurisdictions without the prior written consent of City.
Law and Venue. The Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed
by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and state of Texas, exclusive of
conflicts of laws provisions. Venue for any suit brought under the Agreement shall be in a court of
competent jurisdiction in Tarrant County, Texas. To the extent the Agreement is required to be governed
by any state law other than Texas or venue in Tarrant County, City objects to such terms and any such
terms are hereby deleted from the Agreement and shall have no force or effect.
Public Information. City is a government entity under the laws of the State of Texas and all documents
held or maintained by City are subject to disclosure under the Texas Public Information Act. To the
extent the Agreement requires that City maintain records in violation of the Act, City hereby objects to
such provisions and such provisions are hereby deleted from the Agreement and shall have no force or
effect. In the event there is a request for information marked Confidential or Proprietary, City shall
promptly notify Vendor. It will be the responsibility of Vendor to submit reasons objecting to disclosure.
A determination on whether such reasons are sufficient will not be decided by City, but by the Office of
the Attorney General of the State of Texas or by a court of competent jurisdiction.

7. Software License Agreements
A. Shrink/Click-wrap License Agreement
Regardless of any other provision or other license terms which may be issued by Vendor after
the effective date of this Contract, and irrespective of whether any such provisions have been
proposed prior to or after the issuance of a Purchase Order for products licensed under this
Contract, or the fact that such other agreement may be affixed to or accompany software
upon delivery (shrink-wrap), the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract shall
supersede and govern the license terms between Customers and Vendor. It is the
Customer's responsibility to read the Shrink/Click-wrap License Agreement and determine
if the Customer accepts the license terms as amended by this Contract. If the Customer
does not agree with the license terms, Customer shall be responsible for negotiating with
the reseller to obtain additional changes in the Shrink/Click-wrap License Agreement
language from the software publisher.
B. Conflicting or Additional Terms
In the event that conflicting or additional terms in Vendor Software License Agreements,
Shrink/Click Wrap License Agreements, Service Agreements or linked or supplemental
documents amend or diminish the rights of DIR Customers or the State, such conflicting or
additional terms shall not take precedence over the terms of this Contract.
In the event of a conflict, any linked documents may not take precedence over the printed or
referenced documents comprising this contract; provided further that any update to such
linked documents shall only apply to purchases or leases of the associated Vendor product or
service offering after the effective date of the update; and, provided further, that, if Vendor
has responded to a solicitation or request for pricing, no update of such linked documents on
or after the initial date of Vendor's initial response shall apply to that purchase unless Vendor
directly informs Customer of the update before the purchase is consummated.
In the event that different or additional terms or conditions would otherwise result from
accessing a linked document, agreement to said linked document shall not be effective until
reviewed and approved in writing by Customer's authorized signatory.
Vendor shall not [without prior written agreement from Customer's authorized signatory,]
require any document that: 1) diminishes the rights, benefits, or protections of the
Customer, or that alters the definitions, measurements, or method for determining any
authorized rights, benefits, or protections of the Customer; or 2) imposes additional costs,

Vendor Contract No.
burdens, or obligations upon Customer, or that alters the definitions, measurements, or
method for determining any authorized costs, burdens, or obligations upon Customer.
If Vendor attempts to do any of the foregoing, the prohibited documents will be void and
inapplicable to the contract between DIR and Vendor or Vendor and Customer, and Vendor
will nonetheless be obligated to perform the contract without regard to the prohibited
documents, unless Customer elects instead to terminate the contract, which in such case
may be identified as a termination for cause against Vendor.
The foregoing requirements apply to all contracts, including, but not limited to, contracts
between Customer and a reseller who attempts to pass through documents and obligations
from its Manufacturer of Publisher.

Related Services Contracts.

AGREEMENT (THE "END USER ACCESS AGREEMENT" AND ALONG WITH ALL ORDERS, THE "AGREEMENT") ON BEHALF
OF THE ORDER ACTIVITY INDICATED BY YOU AT THE TIME OF ACCEPTANCE ("GOVERNMENT") YOU ARE HEREBY
AGREEING TO THIS END USER ACCESS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF GOVERNMENT. IN DOING SO THE YOU REPRESENT
THAT YOU HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO BIND GOVERNMENT TO THESE END CLIENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THE
AGREEMENT. THE AGREEMENT IS BY AND BETWEEN GOVERNMENT AND WORKIVA INC. ("PROVIDER").
1.0 Services. Provider agrees to provide the Subscription Services and Professional Services (collectively referred to herein
as, the "Services") as set forth in this End User Access Agreement and the applicable ordering document (an "Order") entered into
by Provider and Government.
1.1 Subscription Services
(a) Beginning on the start date set forth in the applicable Order (the "Start Date"), Provider agrees to
provide Government with access to the Software set forth in the applicable Order ("Subscription Services"), and
accordingly Provider hereby grants to Government and its employees or third party representatives ("Representatives"), a
non-exclusive, non -transferable, worldwide right to access, use, and display the Software in connection with the Subscription
Services. Users will be determined on a named user basis rather than on a concurrent user or shared user basis; provided
that Government may reassign different individuals on a reasonable basis (e.g., an employee changes positions or leaves
Government's employ). Government is responsible for each of its Representative's acts and omissions.
(b) "Documentation" means the manuals, specifications, and other materials describing the functionality,
features, and operating characteristics of the Software, available at https:Hsuccess.wdesk.com/help, including any updates
thereto. "Third Party Software" means software and services authored by a third party, including, the Google App Engine
and Amazon Web Services.
(c) Government may add Representatives, or additional Software features ("Add-Ons") to Government's
Software account via the administrative tools; provided that, to the extent Government has exceeded the scope of the
applicable Order, Provider may invoice Government for associated Fees for such Add-Ons. Such Fees will be calculated
based upon the previously agreed upon pricing set forth in the applicable Order and the remainder of months in the
Subscription Term beginning on the first day of the calendar month in which such Add -On is added.
(d) Over the course of the Agreement Term Provider may introduce new features, functionality, software,
or user types, that are only available under a different pricing model or on a version of Software other than the version
Government currently accesses ("New Features"). In the event Government desires to access and use New Features
Provider reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to update Government's Software account, version, or pricing model to
facilitate Provider's provision of such New Features. Provider otherwise reserves the right to update Government's Software
so that it remains current with the then current version available to Provider's customers generally.
1.2 Professional Services. As set forth in the applicable Order, Provider will provide professional services such as
setups, trainings, and other professional services ("Professional Services"). To the extent any such Professional Services are
performed at Government's facilities ("Onsite Services") the following terms shall apply:
(a) The Onsite Services will be scheduled following Provider's receipt of a fully executed Order. To the
extent Government requires a purchase order, Government shall insert any associated reference number in the Billing
Contact Section of the Order. Upon receipt of a fully executed Order and purchase order, the parties will determine and
finalize scheduling for the Onsite Services. Scheduling will be based upon the Government's schedule, preferences,
requirements, and the availability of Provider's resources; provided, however, that the onsite services will be conducted
onsite at a Government facility during normal business hours, Monday through Friday, between 8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m.
local Government time, and remotely via telephone and internet.
(b) Subject to the parties' mutually agreed upon start date for Onsite Services Provider has the sole
discretion to set the travel schedule of its personnel, on a reasonable basis (e.g., avoiding weekend or after hours travel).
Portions of the Onsite Services may be performed remotely. Provider shall not be liable for delays that arise out of
Government's negligent acts or omissions, or by Government's breach of the Agreement.
(c) Government agrees to reasonably cooperate with Provider until the Onsite Services are successfully
completed. Government provides Provider with a single point of contact who will receive all communications regarding the
Onsite Services; failure to provide a single point of contact may result in an increase or change to the onsite services scope,
quote, and/or length. The contact must have the authority to act for Government in all aspects of the onsite services,
including but not limited to bringing issues to the attention of the appropriate persons within Government's organization and
resolving conflicting requirements. Additionally, the contact will (a) ensure that any communications between Provider and
Government, including scope related questions or requests, are made through the appropriate Provider personnel, (b)
provide timely access to technical and business points of contact, and required data/information for matters related to the
scope of the onsite services; ensure attendance by key Government contacts at Government meetings and presentations,
(c) obtain and provide project requirements, information, data, decisions, and approvals within one (1) working day of
Provider's request, unless both parties agree to a different response time, and (d) ensure that Provider personnel have
reasonable and safe access to the Onsite Services site, internet connectivity, a safe working environment, adequate office
space, and appropriate conference room facilities (including projector and whiteboard access) for meetings. Government
must inform Provider of all access issues, required security measures, and provide access to all necessary facilities.
Government will back up its files and Data prior to Provider's commencement of the Onsite Services.
Wo r ki V a
(d) Government will be invoiced for the Onsite Services as set forth in the Order. Fees and expenses
associated with the Onsite Services shall be paid as set forth in the Order and in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any expenses related to the Onsite Services are included in the relevant
Hourly Rate.
(e) The parties acknowledge that each party retains sole ownership in its intellectual property, and that any
deliverables or transfer of ownership in intellectual property shall be specifically addressed in the relevant Order.
(f) The "Change Control Process' is the process that governs changes to the scope of the Onsite Services.
A written Change Order will be the vehicle for communicating any desired changes to the Onsite Services. The "Change
Order" will describe any proposed changes to the Onsite Services' scope, pricing, resources, and tasks; the reason for the
change(s); related assumptions and Government responsibilities; and the schedule and price impacts of the change.
Provider will draft the Change Order based on discussions with Government. Only changes included in a Change Order
signed by both Government and Provider referencing the Agreement and the applicable Order will be implemented. In
some cases, a Change Order will authorize Provider to study the impacts that a proposed change will have in terms of
required changes to the Onsite Services' scope, schedule, and price. If, upon completion of the study, Government agrees
to proceed with an identified scope change, Provider will draft a separate Change Order to detail the specifics associated
with that change.

the applicable Order.

systems or premises (a "Security Event"), Provider will promptly give notice to Government, unless prohibited by law. Upon the
occurrence of a Security Event, Provider shall (a) promptly take such steps it reasonably deems appropriate to contain and control
the Security Event to prevent further unauthorized access to or misuse of the Data, as applicable, and (b) unless prohibited by law,
continue to provide periodic updates relating to the investigation and resolution of the Security Event to Government until it has been
resolved. Unless prohibited by law and subject to the other provisions herein, Provider will, upon reasonable request, cooperate with
Government in investigating each Security Event, including providing reasonably requested information regarding the nature,
investigation, or resolution thereof.
2.3 Other Responsibilities. Provider shall not modify, disclose (except as compelled by law in accordance with
Section 5.4, to perform Services or as expressly permitted in writing by Government), or access (except to provide or improve the
Software or Subscription Services and prevent or address service or technical problems, or at Government's request in connection
with Support) the Data. Provider and its service providers may not otherwise collect, use, disclose, or utilize the Data. Provider shall
provide the Subscription Services in accordance with applicable laws and government regulations. Except as otherwise agreed in
writing, Government is responsible for the accuracy, truthfulness, consistency, completeness, and any output from the Software, and
consents to use of all Data in accordance with the Agreement, and Provider will neither have the responsibility to review, nor any
liability as to the accuracy of, any information or content posted by Government or its Representatives. Government's and its
Representatives' use of the Software will comply with applicable local, state, Federal and international law, regulations and
conventions, including without limitation those related to data privacy, international communications and the exportation of technical
or personal data. Government represents and warrants to Provider that Government has sufficient rights in the Data to authorize
Provider to process, distribute and display the Data as contemplated by the Agreement, and that the Data and its use hereunder will
not violate or infringe the rights of any third party.
2.4 Web Analytics. Google Inc., Amazon Web Services, Inc., and Workiva Inc. ("Cloud Hosting Providers") are
included in the provision of the Subscription Services. Provider and its Cloud Hosting Providers may record and collect information
related to Government's subscription account activity (e.g., typical web analytics, which includes latency, packet size, hops, and
source destination) in the course of providing the Subscription Services, but may only use such information to improve the Subscription
Services and/or fulfill its rights and obligations under the Agreement. Collection of such information by Cloud Hosting Providers is

vJorkiva
4.1 Agreement & Subscription Term; Effect of Termination. The Agreement begins on the date Government
enters into this End User Access Agreement as set forth in the preamble above, or the date on the first Order between the parties
hereto, whichever is earlier, and shall continue until all Orders and associated with the Agreement have expired or have otherwise
been terminated (the "Agreement Term"), subject to Section 11.8. Unless otherwise specified in an Order, Subscription Services will
begin on the Start Date in the applicable Order and remain in effect for the period specified therein (the "Subscription Term"). Upon
any expiration or termination of the Agreement, Provider will cease providing Subscription Services and Government and its
Representatives shall cease any and all use of the Software.

writing, each party agrees that: (a) all information communicated to it by the other in connection with the Agreement and identified as
confidential, (b) any information exchanged between the parties in connection with Government's purchase of Services, and (c) all
information communicated to it that reasonably should have been understood by the receiving party, because of confidentiality,

specifications, reports or assessments related to the Software, Provider or its Cloud Hosting Providers. Government Confidential
Information includes the Data. Provider recognizes that Federal agencies are subject to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. 552,
which requires that certain information be released, despite being characterized as "confidential" by the vendor.
5.2 Standard of Care; Third Parties. Each party will use at least the same degree of care to safeguard and to
prevent disclosing to third parties the Confidential Information of the other as it employs to avoid unauthorized disclosure or publication
of its own information of a similar nature, and in any event, no less than reasonable care. Each party may disclose relevant aspects
of the other party's Confidential Information to its employees to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the performance
of its obligations, or the enforcement of its rights, under the Agreement; provided, however, that such party will use reasonable efforts
to ensure that all such persons comply with these confidentiality provisions. Each party may disclose the other party's Confidential
Information to third parties provided that such third parties are subject to written confidentiality obligations at least as restrictive as
those set forth in this End User Access Agreement. Third parties are restricted to using the Confidential Information for the sole
purpose of providing the contracted services to the party. Each party will be responsible for any improper disclosure of Confidential
Information by such party's employees, agents, or contractors.
5.3 Preclusions on Use. Neither party will use, or make any copies of, the Confidential Information of the other party
except to fulfill its rights and obligations under the Agreement. Neither party may withhold the Confidential Information of the other
party or refuse for any reason (including due to the other party's actual or alleged breach of the Agreement) to promptly return or
destroy, as the other party may direct, to the other party its Confidential Information (including copies thereof) if requested to do so.
Subject to the foregoing confidentiality obligations, either party may retain copies of the Confidential Information of the other party to
the extent required to document its performance or for compliance with applicable laws or regulations.
5.4 Exclusions; Permitted Use. This Section 5 will not apply to any particular information that either party can
demonstrate (a) was, at the time of disclosure to it, in the public domain, (b) after disclosure to it, is published or otherwise becomes
part of the public domain through no fault of the receiving party, (c) was in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure
to it and was not the subject of a pre-existing confidentiality obligation, (d) was received after disclosure to it from a third party who
had a lawful right to disclose such information (without corresponding confidentiality obligations) to it, or (e) was independently
developed by or for the receiving party without use of the Confidential Information of the disclosing party. In addition, a party will not
be considered to have breached its obligations under this Section 5 for disclosing Confidential Information of the other party to the
extent required to satisfy any legal requirement of a competent governmental or regulatory authority, provided that promptly upon
receiving any such request, and to the extent it is legally permissible, such party advises the other party prior to making such disclosure
and provides a reasonable opportunity to the other party to object to such disclosure, take action to ensure confidential treatment of
the Confidential Information, or (subject to applicable law) take such other action as it considers appropriate to protect the Confidential
Information.

unauthorized access for any third party. If any unauthorized access occurs, Government shall promptly notify Provider of the incident
and shall reasonably cooperate in resolving the issue. Government shall not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any
Software or otherwise attempt to discover the source code thereof or permit any third party to do so. Government shall not attempt
to disable or circumvent any security measures in place. Government may not knowingly reproduce or copy the Software, in whole

between Government and any Subcontractor, or any obligation on the part of Government to pay or to ensure the payment of any
money due any Subcontractor.

NO.: 0350 REPORTING SOFTWARE
CODE: C TYPE: CONSENT PUBLIC NO
NO
SUBJECT: (ALL) Authorize Execution of a Cooperative Purchase Agreement with Vertosoft LLC, for
the Purchase and Implementation of Workiva Financial Reporting Software in an Amount
Up to $250,000.00 and Two Additional Options to Renew using a Cooperative Agreement
for the Information Technology Solutions Department and the Finanical Management
Services Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of a cooperative purchase agreement with
Vertosoft LLC for the purchase and implementation of Workiva Government Financial Reporting
Solution in an amount up to $250,000.00, using Texas Department of Information Resources DIR-
TSO-4227, with two additional options to renew for the Information Technology Solutions Department
and the Financial Management Services Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Financial Management Services Department (FMS) is responsible for the preparation and
coordination of the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report. The current financial reporting
software is at end of life for support and requires replacement. FMS engaged the Information
Technology Solutions Department (ITS) to assist in a review of a replacement software platform.
After the Departments' review, staff recommended replacing the current on premise software with a
Software -as -a -Service platform known as Workiva. This Mayor and Council Communication (M&C)
requests authorization to enter into a cooperative purchase agreement with Vertosoft LLC using Texas
Department of Information Resources (DIR) cooperative purchasing contract DIR-TSO-4227 for the
purchase and implementation of Workiva software. The implementation of Workiva will meet the
City's financial reporting requirements and include streamlining processes, connecting data and
teams, and ensure consistency and accuracy within a controlled, secure, audit -ready, cloud -based
platform.
COOPERATIVE PURCHASE - State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a
cooperative purchasing agreement satisfies State laws requiring that the local government seek
competitive bids for purchase of the item. Cooperative contracts have been competitively bid to
increase and simplify the purchasing power of local government entities across the State of Texas.
SUCCESSOR CONTRACTS - In the event the DIR agreement is not renewed, staff would cease
purchasing at the end of the last purchase agreement coinciding with a valid DIR agreement. If the
City Council were to not appropriate funds for a future year, staff would stop making purchases when
the last appropriation expires, regardless of whether the then -current purchase agreement has
expired.
The City will initially use the DIR contract to make purchases authorized by this M&C. The
Cooperative Contract is set to expire on September 28, 2024. If DIR-TSO-4227 is extended, this
M&C authorizes the City to purchase similar equipment and supplies under the extended contract. If
DIR-TSO-4227 is not extended but DIR executes a new cooperative contract with Vertosoft LLC and
with substantially similar terms, this M&C authorizes the City to purchase the equipment and supplies

under the new DIR contract. If this occurs, in no event will the City continue to purchase goods and
services under the new agreement for more than three (3) years without seeking Council approval.
BUSINESS EQUITY - A goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing
cooperative or public entity.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER - An administrative change order or increase may be made by
the City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does
not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
AGREEMENT TERM - Upon City Council's approval, this agreement will become effective and expire
September 28, 2024 in accordance with the DIR contract. The agreement will renew on an annual
basis thereafter.
RENEWAL OPTIONS - This agreement may be renewed for up to two one-year renewal terms at the
City's option. This action does not require specific City Council approval provided that the City Council
has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal term.
Funding is budgeted in the ITS Other General Government Department's ITS Capital Fund for the
purpose of funding the FY23 Workiva ACFR Automation project as appropriated.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously
appropriated, in the ITS Capital Fund for the FY23 Workiva ACFR Automation project to support the
approval of the above recommendation and execution of the agreement. Prior to an expenditure
being incurred, the Information Technology Solutions Department has the responsibility to validate
the availability of funds.
